Lots of coaching changes for the Saints recently with no thread on the issue. What do people think? Is the administration getting serious about winning now, while DB has a few years left? Do you like the additions? Any insight on some of the coaches, good or bad?
The Saints have hired Louisiana Lafayette defensive coordinator James Willis to serve as a defensive assistant / linebackers coach, and also announced a number of other hires and changes including; Dennis Allen (senior defensive assistant), John Morton (WRs), Joel Thomas (RBs), Dan Roushar (TEs), Kyle DeVan (offensive assistant), Greg Lewis (offensive assistant), and Brendan Nugent (coaching assistant).

maybe we can loan out yaw yaw for sean payton for a month in the offseason to help us find and coach a qb.
The Saints have one of if not the least talented defense in the NFL. I'm not sure anyone out there could do much with that roster. I'd like to see him coach a saints D with talent before I make final judgment on his coaching ability.
I can't imagine the hiring of Dennis Allen not being a problem for Rob Ryan. This is almost like having co-defensive coordinators, although the Saints will spin it so that all the coaches love each other and are in perfect harmony. Ryan has to feel as if Allen is his possible replacement if the defense doesn't turn around.
